Lews David Fritts Get Back Lure Retriever
The Lews David Fritts Get Back Lure Retriever is a tool designed to recover crankbaits and other lures snagged on underwater structure—rocks, logs, stumps, and laydowns that eat tackle on every fishing trip. Built with input from David Fritts, one of America's most accomplished crankbait anglers, this retriever tackles the frustration of losing expensive lures to snags and cuts fishing time spent retying.
Every angler knows the moment: your best crankbait hangs up on a submerged obstruction, and you have to choose between losing the lure or spending fifteen minutes trying to free it. The Get Back Retriever is engineered to get your lure back quickly, even when it's wedged in some of the toughest underwater terrain. Fritts tested it in real-world conditions against serious snags, so it's built for the situations that actually cost you money and fishing time.
Whether you're working dense cover for bass, navigating rocky structure, or pitching into timber, having a reliable lure retriever on the boat means you spend more time fishing and less time replacing tackle. It's a simple tool that pays for itself on the first trip.
